Title: I went to see the doctor
Post by cho on Apr 24th, 2003, 4:12am
I figure the only way I'm going to get one of these riddles right is if  I write it myself. This one's way too simple, but I was feeling a little silly when I wrote it.

I went to see the doctor because a had a one.
But when I met the quackster I thought, "now what have I done?"
He met me in the waiting room and told me to undress.
It was a bit embarrassing, I'll readily confess.
My head was hot and fevery, my eyes were kind of reddish.
But the doctor never noticed them, I think he had a fetish.
He kept staring at my two. I thought, 'Now what do I do?"
"Doctor, if you're three four, would you write me a prescription?"
"What do you need me for? Just heed this simple admonition.
The surest of all remedies is in the pedalest extremities.
Keep them up above your ticker, till you're feeling good and well."
So I sat down with a snicker and I put them on his all.

Ok Cho, I think I have "two" figured out, but my "one" doesn't seem to fit with anything; and I take it "three four" is one word, is that correct? BTW-the answer is a well known thing-right?

Oh, hang on maybe I just got it-ya, I did. Cute riddle!
I just had one made for my kids to play games on-in the living room.

Okay, I like it. The one and two sort of blend, as do the two and three.

Many of the old versions of these types of riddles worked letters, not just syllables.  The trick is that you don't know which kind it is until you have solved it.  Good one.
